Regret

Where has the warmth within your voice gone?

It seems your care has died away

I wander through a thousand questions

Never knowing what to say

Lift your palms your hands are soiled

And guilt now lights your eyes

Will I know or will I wonder

The voice of severed ties

Years will pass and you'll remember

All that died within your grasp

And I'll be gone, you'll sleep uneasy

Upon a bed built of regret

You won't forget the loss of passion

As the past sleeps in your mind

Years will pass and you'll be searching

For things you'll never find

See our dreams now fade away

Call to the time that we would have shared

See our hopes now fade to gray

Look to the emptiness by your side

Beneath the days there lies indifference

Your smile can't retract the lies

And my nights will find their comfort

In the knowledge that I tried

Were your words always so empty?

Have I been blinded by your light?

My doubts were real from the beginning

Unlike the final tears you cried

I trace your lies, something untrue

Swam deep within your eyes

Was another waiting in my place tonight?

You will regret all that you've done

As the one you lost seems cold

Let your tears fall fast to fill your empty heart

Pray for day, pray for day

Hope that hope will shine again

Through the fog of loss that haunts your thoughts at night

Pray for day, pray for day

Hope that hope will shine again

Through the fog of loss that haunts your thoughts at night
